Firstly, sorry about the lack of current event coverage. With work and trying to find an apartment, everything has been crazy. The news is as follows: War (1) US vs Iraq, and secretly we’re still at war with Afganistan; (2) Russia vs Georgia, the country not the state| Elections (1) Obama vs McCain. If you didn’t know, now you know. Who am I voting for? Ralph Wiggum. (2) Goodspaceguy Nelson. Google it. He’s the real deal| Olympics Yeah.
So I’ve been in Seattle for about 3 months. As you remember, I set goals when I moved here. I’m now going to analyze how I’ve been doing and create an updated list.
1) Be more social. Not only being social, but actively pursuing community.
Well, subleasing at the Goblin House has been great for this one. I’m still not amazing, but I have to say I’ve been dong better than usual.
2) Play guitar more.
Updated goal: buy a guitar. I didn’t bring mine when I moved cross country, and I’m poor.
3) Get a record player and listen to a lot more records.
Yeah. Big time check. A week or two ago, I actually got called an audiophile.
4) Work to pay down my student loans as fast as possible.
Umm yeah. I’m poor. I’m working on it, but it’s not going too well.
5) Take a chance with a girl.
I’m a little too transient right now to do this. But if I wasn’t, I’d love to see another purse over dinner. Not that anyone who reads this will have any idea what I’m talking about, but I’m rather glad that no one who would know what I’m talking about reads this.
6) Get more involved in a church.
Getting there. I’ve still got a long way to go.
7) Have people over to my house.
See #1. Not that I invite them, but they’re here.
Eight) Don’t be an idiot.
This one is a day to day thing.
New list:
1) Be more social. Not only being social, but actively pursuing community. (needs to stay)
2) Get a new guitar.
3) Work to pay off my student loans and credit card bill as fast as possible.
4) Take a chance with a girl.
5) Get more involved in a church.
6) Have people over to my house.
7) Buy an espresso machine.
Eight) Cook more of my own food.
9) Find the DVD I checked out the library and lost.
10) Find a long term place to live.
11) Find out the name of the girl that I mentioned above.
12) Don’t be an idiot.
There are a lot more short term goals this time since they’re things I need to do now. But yeah. Sorry for no real post.
